this is something that really pissing me off, iv 70 or 80 tokens for fuel and potentially would get loads of money from it trading it off but my freight capacity is full, so do i have to keep creating more roads leading to the edge of the map for it to gain about 20 each time or is there a more easy way? i even have a small and large airport but the amount of roads im using to gain freight capacity is destroying the map and realism

Hi guys, I was just wondering if there was additional mods for lighting? im noticing a lot of christmas lighting, i would love to install that, where exactly is it?

This is Dublin city, population 600,000. it is made up of 3 different cities, 1 major city, 1 small industrial port and 1 affluent harbour town. The main city (Dublin), is surrounded to the north by 2 big highways which are heavily under use and plans are under way to alleviate traffic. to the east of Dublin is downtown, this is where offices, markets and bustling streets are to be seen, along with a lively night life. Dublins Problematic traffic! The city can be uniquely identified by its twin towers and its "observation" restaurant which stands out for miles around the island. Dublin City, with its iconic twin towers and sky view restaurant; working class port; Industrial zone The affluent Harbour town; Dublin city, downtown can be seen to the right Dublin skyline and ringroads;

Now at 765,000 the population is reaching an exploding level as zoning levies and adequate spatial strategies are been put foreward to tackle the huge expansion of the city into the countryside.

its already grown way passed the ringroad and out, ill update soon

Welcome to Vegas! This is a very fast growing city located in the sun desert. population of the city is approximately 341,107 people. Due to the huge influx of numbers coming to the city, a huge surplus of houses have been zoned in anticipation to reach around 500,000 within the next year or so. The boom in population is largely due to the economic success of the city in recent years which has attracted many multinational companies including the start up of casinos and high quality hotels with dedicated quarters for bars and clubs, making it the ideal location for its 84,000 students, giving it not only the nickname "party city" but also "Student central"! Region before the city. Before and after pic of what the town used to look like, before, it was a small town with much potential.. After, its now one of the fastest growing cities in the contenent with one of the best night life in the world! Vegas Airport Typical traffic building up coming in to the city One of the main avenues leading into Vegas Central Inner City Flats The French Quarter St Pauls Cathedral Famous row of hotels, the closest one is the ritz, followed by the Hilton and the mariott. great spot for students and visitors as its only 10 minutes from the Vegas Central Balcony view from the ritz hotel (first 5* hotel to set up in the city, now used predominantly for stag weekends, people go drinking here before they head downtown for the night. The buzz around the city at night time The Famous Panaromic Restaurant, known locally as "the stiffy in the liffey" (the Liffey being the river it is near, the stiffy..i'll let you figure that one out!) downtown downtown market square you can see from the helicopter ride the vast areas zoned for housing in anticipation to the population boom the downtown area has been zoned around 3 distinctive circular plazas which contain bars, restaurants, clubs, offices tourist attractions and hotels for the many thousands that visit each year. I will post more on the different things to do later on

Hi guys, thanks for the posts, for the record, this is NOT supposed to look like Las Vegas, I just used the name Vegas as it was a cool name that rolled off the tongue. pics will be updated today!

traffic isnt too bad, slightly bad by downtown but thats a given..highways arent really needed yet, im planning on carrying out bus services when money permits..everything really is self contained so I didnt want to build big highways out of the city until they were really needed, i will update soon

meh, its an american city so they developers were able to easily extend the city blocks as it grew, sustainable development went out the window with the developers years ago!

nice job man, im currently building a city (vegas) and im getting very good ideas!

nice city! very interesting design..i noticed u have loads of wind turbines, do these need to be connected to a road or can u place them randomly? i thought u can place them randomly but in mine it says i need to connect to a road?

thanks guys, i think it mixes everything up a bit when theres a couple of towns in the same area. any ideas on future expansions? population is now currently at around 660,000

I have taken advantage of the affluent boom in population and my small industrial town has been regenerated,

copied from the best luddmamm dont worry!

Hi guys, i was just wondering if there was any way of getting any more maps? the game provides u with about 3 or 4 for every area but what if i want more?

Thanks guys, the map I used was in the coast section, its the big island one. I made a journey from the airport to Central Square in downtown, to show you the layout of the city for people commuting to downtown. The overall journey from the terminal to the Square is 9.5km, or 5.9 miles Huge Traffic Jams as we get closer to downtown Market Square Market Square Twin Towers Dublin Twin Towers

cheers guys, im trying to make this one unique, something that stands out. any ideas in terms of future expansions/ designs? i'll have more pics soon
